Air enters a humidifier at 34.25°C and 30% RH. If the air leaves the humidifier at 70% RH. Determine:
The exit dry-bulb temperature of the air in °C.The saturation effectiveness in %.
Moist air at 25 °C and 50% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at stecady state
with a volumetric flow rate of 280 m/min. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and
water vapor condenses. Condensate exits the dehumidifier saturated at 10°C. Saturated
moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature. There is no significant loss of
energy by heat transfer to the surroundings and pressure remains constant at 1.013 bar.
Determine
(a) The mass flow rate of the dry air, in kg/min. ANA
(b) The humidity ratios at the inlet and outlet using the psychrometric chart (Show the
procedure on the attached chart). HMIAH
